The only messages you get with GetMessage are messages that arrived in your thread's message queue. You can monitor the message traffic within another process, but only by using a window "hook" that actually injects code into that other process. The "spyxx" tool that ships with the PlatformSDK is an excellent way to do this. Borland has an equivalent tool called "WinSight". Window messages are very low-level things. WM_PAINT tells an application to repaint part of a window. WM_MOVE tells it the window is being moved, WM_SIZE says the window is being resized. WM_MOUSEMOVE tells it that the mouse moved within its window. In addition, controls like buttons and list boxes report activity to their parent windows, like when they get clicked, or when an item is selected. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
